Om boendet

Edgartown Captain's Home - Lyx - Plats "en gång i livet upplevelse" 5 *

Captain Morse House är en av Edgartowns främsta hem. Det byggdes av kapten John O. Morse 1840. Morse var en av de mest framgångsrika valfångstkaptenens epoker. Det är en stor och stor hem byggd i den grekiska revivalstilen. Captain Morse House har ett utmärkt läge nära Edgartowns shopping och en kort promenad till fyra stränder och North Wharf och stadens upptagna hamn.

BOENDE
Vi kan ställa in huset för att rymma flera olika grupper. Från ett nådigt hem som värd en liten familj till sin maximala konfiguration där vi kan rymma upp till 25 personer i 12 sovrum. Det finns 20 bäddar fördelade på 12 sovrum och ett loft. Den första och andra våningen har de bästa sovrummen. Det finns 7 fulla bad och en utedusch. Det finns också två fullt utrustade kök, två stora matsalar och två stora vardagsrum.

Vattenutsikt - ligger du på vattnet
Det finns utsikt över Edgartown hamnen från huset och från båda våra främre verandor. Vi är bara 200 meter ner Morse Street (60 m) till The North Wharf är. The North Wharf är ett centrum för lansering, fiske, dockning, förtöjning och båtliv. Kapten Morse brukade hålla sina båtar på The North Wharf så det är verkligen som att ha din egen brygga! En morgonpromenad ner till kajen är ett bra sätt att börja dagen. Se vår Waterfront Page.

INTERIORGÅNG HÄR
Hemmet är spredt över tre våningar och erbjuder en mängd olika offentliga rum och privata sovrum. Framsidan av första våningen har ett stort formellt vardagsrum med dubbla portaler till verandaen. Bredvid det är den främre entrév��g som har en härlig spiraltrappa byggd av lokala skeppsvarv. Därefter kommer mediarummet som fördubblas som ett extra sovrum och sedan en formell matsal och gourmetkök. När du går framför köket går du in i baksidan av huset med ett stort vardagsrum och matplats, ett privat badrum och ett fullt utrustat kök. Detta är ett utmärkt informellt utrymme för mer avslappnade möten.

Den andra våningen börjar med en magnifik veranda som kan nås från antingen sovrummet eller det andra stora sovrummet. Härifrån till baksidan av huset finns ytterligare 5 sovrum och 4 badrum. Dessa är alla utformade på ett sätt som du inte kommer att se i andra hus byggt senare. Det är en del av charmen i huset.

På tredje våningen finns ytterligare fyra sovrum. Det här är den enklaste delen av huset och var där tjänarna brukade bo. Tillbaka på 1800-talet tog det en liten armé att köra huset. Inte alla skulle faktiskt kunna leva i huset. Vissa bodde på Chappaquiddick Island och tog färjan som drivs av kapten Morse fader Uriah.

Som du kanske kan gissa är vi specialiserade på stora familjer, familjeåterförening, bröllop, årsdagar och alla evenemang där människor vill njuta av varandras företag utan att andra distraherar sig. Stora grupper boka regelbundet vårt hem för sin charm, komfort och unika karaktär och nåd. Med det sagt säger vår långa tid upprepade hyresgäster brukar vara mindre familjer på 6 eller så. De bjuder sedan in vänner att besöka och använda de stora utrymmena för underhållande. I min ungdom bodde jag i huset med min bror och föräldrar. Det verkar ovanligt nu men då tog vi det självklart och hjälpte vår pappa till underhåll och gräsmatta.

BEKVÄMLIGHETER
Vi är fullt utrustade med stort sett allt du kan tänka dig. Höjdpunkter är fulla sängkläder, två nöjescenter, fullt hus WiFi, 4 zon HVAC, hiss och gratis cyklar. Klicka på rubriken ovan för en fullständig lista.

UTOMHUS
De dubbla främre verandaerna är inramade av 10 doriska kolonner och möter hamnen. De skapar en idealisk plats att tillbringa dagen. Den stora bakgården och trädgården erbjuder en privat oas från rörelsen i en vingårdssommar. Gården pryds av tre höga och magnifika Linden träd.

På North Water Street sidan av huset finns två rymliga verandor med utsikt över Edgartown Harbor. Edgartowns North Wharf ligger nedanför huset i slutet av Morse Street. Det är ett bra ställe att gå och njuta av den livliga vattnet eller kanske lite fiske. Vi har en blygsam uppfart som kan rymma 4 bilar som leder tillbaka till bakgården. Vår gård är en av de rymligaste och säkraste i stan och har en tegelstenad uteplats med plats för 20 med en mycket trevlig grill. Verktygsstationen rymmer gratis cyklar, solstolar och gräsmatcher.

VAR ÄR HUSET
Vi är på östra sidan av ön Marthas vingård i den historiska staden Edgartown. Huset ligger tre kvarter norrut från huvudgatan i Edgartown på Morse Street. Karta

North Water Street går motsatt väg och Captain Morse House ligger ungefär halvvägs mellan Main Street och Harbor View Hotel, som ser över Edgartown Fyr och ingången till hamnen.

SAMMANFATTNINGSVIS
Vi är fast beslutna att göra vad som helst för att göra din vistelse i vår familj hemma på Marthas Vineyard en speciell. Vi tycker att vårt hus är det bästa i stan och erbjuder våra gäster en helt unik upplevelse.

Beautiful in an amazing location

The Captain Morse House's location made out stay last year worth it! Not only is it walking distance from all the amazing restaurants and shops but it is also large enough to house a full troop of people while still feeling as if you have enough space and not on top of each other. Norm was an amazing host so helpful and very gracious on check in and check out. We truly had the best experience here and would recommend it to anyone!

The house is elegant and well appointed and will accommodate a lot of guests.

The ship captain’s house is elegant and welcoming if you appreciate an atmosphere of yesteryear. It is like staying in your grandmother’s house just as she left it, except she fortunately had modern beds and an up to date, well stocked kitchen, actually 2 kitchens. We love that atmosphere and our children do as well, so everyone was happy. We were there in Winter and heating was satisfactory, so we cannot speak to Summer conditions. The house is lovely and charming and the only short coming was parking. The driveway can take 2 cars, one behind the other, which presents an inconvenience so the second car we had parked on the street. Fortunately in 2 weeks in December it never got a parking ticket for overnight parking which the sign says is prohibited. Old New England village not designed to accommodate automobiles. On that subject walking to the commercial center of Edgartown for restaurants and shops is likewise charming day and evening. Our family walked to restaurants, shops and the movie theater. How old fashioned, nice and healthful.

Fantastic Family Reunion

We had 3 generations of our family staying in the house over an Oct. holiday weekend- 14 adults/9 children and it was absolutely perfect! The location is superb, the spaces inside were great for small gatherings and conversations, and the children loved playing hide and seek in this grand old house. The host was most accommodating and we could not have asked for a better stay! HIGHLY recommend!

Beautiful accomodations in a fabulous location.

The Captain Morse House is a lovingly restored home in a fabulous location. The house mixes historic charm with beautifully updated amenities including kitchens & bathrooms. All of the rooms are spacious and comfortable for gathering. The kitchens are fully-equipped including outdoor gas grills. The backyard is beautiful with a lush lawn, flowerbeds and outdoor dining tables. I rented both wings for a large family gathering. The accommodations were so comfortable and in good order that it made the weekend effortless and enjoyable for everyone. Having the house walking distance to town was an added bonus. This was my first time renting on MV and I will definitely return to the Captain Morse House.

70th Birthday Party

We hosted a 70th Birthday Party. We invited friends and family to spend the weekend with us to celebrate this milestone. Everyone loved the property. It had everything we needed; plenty of places to gather, eat and walking distance to downtown Edgartown. It was March so it was cold and windy. The house has so much character, history and lovely little extras you have to experience. A wonderful experience.

Winter on the vineyard

My family and I go to the vineyard every winter, and it’s always a great time. We usually stay at hotels but we really wanted to be together this time. We found the Captain Morse house and I could not be more thankful! Our weekend was everything we’d thought it would be and more. This house extremely homey and comfortable! We never wanted to leave! There were great paths for our annual night walk (yes, we walk in winter 😅) we were in walking distance to some amazing coffee shops and diners, and the kids had a ball during our dance party with all the cousins, aunts, and uncles! Above all I have to say, the management was the best part! You can stay at a place that has everything you need and more, but if the people running it aren’t accommodating or lack communication, you’d never want to go there again! This team went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and we were comfortable! They responded to a late night request as well which was very impressive! Safe to say…. We will be back next February! Thank you so much!!! The Crafts Family

Fabulous in all regards

We'd not hesitate for a moment before returning. Our group was adult siblings, spouses, and young children. The house (we had both wings) was perfect for us. There was space to spread out--adults could be in the front living rooms while kids enjoyed feeling independent in the back. Two kitchens avoided any crunches of space. Bedrooms galore provided great flexibility. A short walk to Lighthouse Beach or to town provided perfect outings. And, used to living ourselves in a house of a similar era (early 1800s) with English antiques accented by China Trade pieces, we felt perfectly at home. The house clearly has a force field around it that avoids "beach house kitsch." It's just charming. And three big cheers for the Heidi, the manager. On top of providing a wonderful welcome when we arrived, she hit true heroics at 10:45am on New Year's Day when she answered our call on the first ring and arrived at the house within minutes and jumped our car, the battery of which had died, in time to make our boat off-island. That is truly above and beyond.

Best Family Vacation Ever!

We stayed at the Captain Morse House for a large family celebration (10 adults and 3 kiddos) and had the most lovely stay! The house is situated perfectly between cute shops in downtown Edgartown and the idyllic lighthouse. We loved taking strolls for a morning pastry, followed by lunch at the house and a meander to the beach to frolic in the ocean. The house also has bicycles, which we took out to explore other parts of the island. The Captain’s house was a perfect place to stay -- we got to hang out all under one roof, eat meals together, watch the Warriors together etc. All while having enough space for everyone to feel comfortable and enough rooms to nestle in by one’s self if needed. There are two kitchens (fully equipped with all sorts of cooking utensils, platters, dishes, anything you could want ) -- our family used the smaller kitchen for breakfast preparation and the large kitchen for epic dinner preparations. As for the sleeping quarters, the bedrooms are cozy and flooded with light. Two of the upstairs bedrooms connect to a gorgeous porch which is great for a nice view and people watching. There is also a downstairs porch that was perfect for cocktails and many games of chess. The backyard outdoor space was beautiful -- the tables outside were great for a delightful outdoor lunch while the kids ran around on the lawn nearby. The owners are also incredibly kind and generous and made our stay at Capt. Morse’s house very special, smooth and sublime! We cannot wait to visit again. June 10, 2019

There was so much in walking distance, and such a quaint town! The house was beautiful, and so full of character and history. It was extremely well-appointed and comfortable too. I would definitely recommend it!!

Breathe taking house overall

This home is a once-in-a-life-time opportunity to experience one of the best vacation rentals on the island. My family rented the house in July of 2018 and we had an incredible stay and the memories we made will last a life time. The home has EVERYTHING you will need to enjoy a fun filled vacation. The location of the home is truly ideal with just a short walk (2 blocks) to Edgartown Harbor, 3 area beaches to chose from and a just short stroll to the business district with some of the best restaurants and shops on the island. The home itself exudes old world charm, yet has ALL of the amenities and upgrades that will make your stay a memorable one. The owner, and his team, are there for you if you have any questions during your time at the property. Very nice people and very accommodating. There is plenty of out door living space including the private patio in the rear of the home with seating for the extended family that incudes a huge gas grill, plenty of front porch seating as well with some views of the harbor or you can even lounge out on the well manicured grounds with beautiful mature plantings. There is no need to rent bikes as there are plenty of high-end bikes with helmets in the shed for your use. You will not find a better vacation on the island. This is the one!! #fivestars

Amazing and Memorable Vacation with the Family!

My family and I absolutely loved the house and our stay in Edgartown. The house is in an amazing location right in the middle of town and within walking distance to everything.The house is very well kept and there is great attention to detail. Platt was an unbelievable host and was always available to take care of anything we needed. I highly recommend the home for anyone taking some time to vacation in Edgartown!

Great Venue for Large Gathering

We spend a wonderful week at the Captain Morse House, which was rented for my son's wedding. My son and his bride wanted a "destination wedding" and the Morse House in Edgartown was the perfect place. We had a total of 20 guests who were comfortably accommodated. Many traveled in from the Midwest and were first time visitors to the area. They were impressed by the grandeur of the house and the many nautical themed pictures which adorn the walls. Having everyone under one roof certainly made the logistics of an event like a wedding much easier. The kitchen and food preparation areas are first-rate. The two kitchens are well stocked with every imaginable kitchen gadget or pot and pan, as well as enough place settings for almost any sized group. One of the two kitchens features a six-burner range that would please any gourmet chef. Although the Captain Morse House is an old house, what is most impressive is everything works. The plumbing is great, and all the showers have an impressive amount of water pressure. The electrical system is modern and unlike some old houses, you can simultaneously run the coffee maker and microwave and not pop circuit breakers. There is a great WiFi setup, and several big screen TV's. We didn't spend much time indoors watching TV as the weather was perfect when we were there, but you could do that on a rainy day. As there is limited parking at the house, I would recommend off-island guests leave their cars on the mainland. Getting around the island is easy using the VTA buses, taxis, or Uber. Once in Edgartown, guests really don't need cars, as there are dozens of shops and restaurants nearby within easy walking distance. Adventurous types can use one of the bikes available for guests to go exploring around other parts of the island. Overall, the Captain Morse House is a wonderful venue for any event that involves a large group of people. It's perfect for weddings, family reunions, or corporate retreats. If you decide the rent the house, I am sure you will enjoy it and the Edgartown area as much as we did.

The Captain Morse House has been in our family since my father purchased it in 1955. I spent my summers at the house until I graduated from Tufts University. In 1973 I started Island Sports, a boat rigging and windsurfing shop. I expanded it to Newport, RI, in 1979 and ran it there until 2007, when we sold it. In 2008 I entered the vacation business and converted the Captain Morse House into a successful vacation rental. Since 2008 we have rented the home to over 200 families and groups.

Our most recent project is Vacation Rental MV. This full-service vacation management business is designed to assist busy homeowners with listing and managing their on-island rental properties. 2021 will be our second season in business.

In the winter, my wife and I live in Florida. Each spring, we drive up to the island, where we open up the house and prepare it for the season. We spend about a month doing this and then travel to Oregon, where we spend the summer windsurfing, kitesurfing, and enjoying all the Northwest offers. In the fall, we return to the island, help close the house, and prepare it for winter. There are always jobs to do on a house this large, allowing us more hands-on time. We travel back down to Florida in the late fall with the geese. I have built several homes and enjoy the challenge of maintaining this old house and of creating wonderful living spaces suitable for large or small numbers of guests.

Due to my long time on the island. I can help you plan your vacation. I can provide you with the best possible service if we communicate via telephone or email. Our guests aren't clients so much; they are friends assisting us in maintaining the property and keeping it in our family for future generations. The vacation rental business has allowed our family to continue to own the house and to share it with other people who love the island and the unique architecture and heritage of this wonderful building.

Varför värden valde detta boende

My father often visited Edgartown on his father's sailboat, the Gertrude. In 1955 my parents purchased the Captain Morse House in order to have a summer home to raise their growing family. Back in 1955 Edgartown was still a failed whaling town without the top reputation it now enjoys. Shortly after the purchase they added a separate kitchen and changed the house so that they could divide it into wings. This allowed them to rent them out separately. We have kept this configuration and you can still rent out the home Complete or as an East Wing or as a West Wing.

and I then spent every summer there until I moved to Newport Rhode Island in 1979. I continued to visit my parents each summer until 2007. I now spend as much time as I can on the island attending to the house and maintaining it. When it was built in 1840 it was perhaps the best home in Edgartown. Now movie stars and celebrities have built larger homes but non with the style and class of the Captain Morse House.

There are lots of modern and redone houses around but there are very few of these homes. Built in 1840 and filled with charm and character you will be enthralled by the beauty and simplicity of the home and it's surroundings.

Our guests say this is the perfect location. You are close to town and right up from the harbor. Park the car for the week or leave it on the mainland. Our location allows for freedom from car pooling and shuttles. Everything is literally a walk away. We love walking down Morse Street to the boatyard to see what's happening on the waterfront and to talk to the boaters and fisherman.
The large open home offers privacy and retreat no matter how many people fill the house.
The large backyard can serve as a base for quiet afternoons as well as an evening party.
The restaurants and shops are all an easy walk away but it is the waterfront that is the best part of living at the Captain Morse House. After all - it is a whaling Captain's home
